Which SumoSprings Rear Helper Springs Are Best For A 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500?

Question:

I want to get some SumoSprings to shore up the stock suspension on my 2022 Silverado 3500. I saw 3 options available and debating between them. I will be pulling a 5th wheel on occasion, but mostly just carrying various things in the bed, some of them pretty heavy. Which do you recommend?

As you mentioned not towing all the time, I do not recommend going with the SumoSprings Rebel # SSR-203-47-2. This will be far to heavy duty as is intended more for full time towing or an in-bed camper. Your suspension will end up being affected pretty severely when not under load, so I suggest one of the lower rated options.

Specifically the SumoSprings Rebel # SSR-203-40-2. This is also a two piece design, which I do like, is rated up to 3,000 pounds of carrying capacity (at 50% compression). So it's no slouch. This will affect your unloaded ride significantly less than the heavier duty option and will be the best way to go.

The lowest capacity SumoSprings # SSR-207-47 (1,500 pounds at 50% compression) is more for use with light towing and will most likely not be enough for the weight of your 5th wheel.
